Tuscan Villa with Panoramic Views & Private Pool
Perched on the hillside, Villa Ripiano has spectacular views over the valley and it will be difficult to drag oneself away from the poolside to visit nearby Lucca and explore the beautiful Garfagnana national park.
Entry to the spacious living room is via a series of terraces, all with spectacular views and equipped for eating al fresco. The living space is very comfortable and boasts a lovely fireplace.
The kitchen, well equipped with a dishwasher, gas stove, convection oven, fridge/freezer, water filtration system, Nespresso, microwave, &c. leads off the living room and indoor dining area. There are two double/twin bedrooms on the ground floor, both with their own bathroom with showers. There is also a laundry room with washing machine and ironing facilities. Internal stairs lead from the living room to a further 3 double/twin bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower. There is also a further bathroom with bath.
The pool uses a salt water electrolysis system and there is a lockable gate, giving parents control over when children can access the pool. The views from the pool, covered dining area and pergola (at the far end of the pool) are breathtaking and complete this fabulous villa as a perfect destination for groups of friends and family. The steeply sloping grounds have been carefully cleared to provide walks and private seating areas.
Please note, this house is generally rented by the week, from Saturday 4PM to the following Saturday 10AM. Stays of two weeks or more receive complimentary house cleaning each Saturday following the first week. For shorter stays, please contact us to enquire about your travel dates.
A very comfortable villa with a fantastic pool and all amenities you need. The last km to the house is a quite challenging unpaved road, but once there itâs great. We would have liked to see a bit more of the surrounding hills, the garden is now quite secluded which can be a pre for guests who love privacy
Absolutely wonderful. It was what I imagined a Tuscan Villa would be and more. It is private with spectacular views. The inside is roomy and comfortable with beautiful vaulted wood ceilings throughout. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I could think of. The pool is great with a gate that keeps children safe. The terraces with cushioned seating were perfect for lounging. The beds were very comfortable. Nice washer and clothes line. Highly recommend.
Vi havde en fantastisk uge med smuk beliggenhed , hygge og leg ved poolen. Huset har alt hvad vi behÞvede for vores ferie. I bil er der ikke langt til Lucca, og vi fandt hyggelige restauranter i de smÄ bjergbyer. Kommunikation med udlejer Olivier var rigtig fin, og vi anbefaler bestemt andre at holde deres ferie her.
The instructions for arrival were detailed and helpfully so. It didnât detract from the excitement of the drive though. You need a car big enough to tackle the terrain and small enough to fit the track! The house was spotless and very well equipped. There was a thoughtful welcome basket including wine and pasta. Care was needed with the upstairs rooms as they got quite hot and we struggled to cool them at night but the beds were excellent and there was a fan in each room. There were also bug screens on the shutters to allow windows to be open at night. The pool area was beautiful but quite a few biting beasties. There were plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sun or the shade. The bathrooms were nice and the living space generous. The only caution is it is very remote - which is great if you want peace and quiet but you canât walk anywhere so lots of driving involved. Lucca Rafting was excellent - canyoning well worth it.
De verrassing begint bij het aanrijden van de woning. De eigenaar had het voorspeld, het is een uitdagende weg naar het huis. De kronkelende heuvel op en dan eigenlijk op een onverharde weg naar de woning.
Eens ter plaatse zit je midden van het groen, de rust en is er een prachtig uitzicht. De kamers zijn ruim, netjes en hebben goede bedden. De ventilator in elke kamer is welgekomen, het was zeer warm en windstil tijdens ons verblijf. De 4 badkamers zijn heel erg handig. Persoonlijk ontbrak het mijaan voldoende grote potten en pannen om voor een gezelschap van 9 vlot te kunnen kolen. Het zou handig zijn moesten er wat potten bij komen. Het Nespresso apparaat was dan weer heel leuk en ook de 2de koelkast en de wasmachine zijn handig. Mooi huis, mooie locatie ! We hebben genoten! De welkomstmqnd was een fijne attentie!
I stayed in the house with my family and grandparents. The house is spacious. We loved the living area. The pool was great. The bed- and bathrooms were neat and tidy. And what surprised us the most was how well equipped the kitchen was.
If there was a minor point, than it was only the last part of the road. You need a good/big car to drive up here.
